According to the report by the cyber security company, Canada's reputation as a law abiding country is making it a preferred location from which to launch cyber attacks, with Canada ranking No. 6 worldwide among countries hosting cybercrime, up from 13th place last year.<br /><br/>In the past year, the number of .ca servers hosting phishing sites increased by 319% . This tremendous increase over the last 12 months is second only to Egypt in terms of the growth of sites hosting crimeware. Canada now sits just behind the United States globally in the number of servers hosting phishing sites, ahead of Germany, U.K. and France.<br /><br/>"And Egypt obviously came from pretty much nowhere, so it is easy for it to have a higher percentage increase," said Patrik Runald, senior security research manager. </p>"In all the other western countries like the U.S., France, the U.K. and Germany the number of servers are going down, whereas in Canada, for some reason, it is going up."<br /><br/>Canada also experienced a 53% increase in bot networks, or automated hacking networks, the only country that showed an increase in botnets over the past eight months.<br /><br/>Dan Hubbard, a chief technology officer, said it’s difficult to ascertain the reason behind the marked change in Canada’s threat landscape, but it may be related to the recent crackdown on cyber criminals in the U.S. organized at the federal government level. Also, hackers are probably on the move as IP addresses in China and Eastern Europe have recently undergone intense scrutiny.<br /><br/>The sort of attacks originating from Canada aren’t any different from what they may be in another country, said Hubbard. That said, the only difference, geography-wise, is cyber crime targeted at the banking sector. “You’re not going to go after a Russian bank in Canada,” said Hubbard. And, while cybercrime itself has not changed much across the years, Hubbard said it’s the level of sophistication that is different over time.<br /><br/>Just as some travellers like to tack a Canadian flag onto their knapsacks to take advantage of this country's reputation as a global good guy, the cybercriminals want to lull security systems and computers users into thinking their traffic is coming from Canada. Runald said often security systems automatically block traffic from suspect sources, but traffic from Canada isn't regarded as being in that category.<br /><br/>He said Canada's reputation as a safe place to do business, combined with its Internet infrastructure and high available bandwidth, makes this country a desirable hosting location. The shift doesn't mean cybercriminals are moving to Canada. The masterminds behind the cyber attacks infiltrate legitimate computers, both those of individuals and company servers, that give them a base from which to carry out their work.<br /><br/>In March, Symantec’s March 2011 MessageLabs Intelligence Report found that, in Canada, spam accounted for 79.4% of e-mail received, and malware accounted for 1 in 160.1 e-mails, according to the March 2011 MessageLabs Intelligence Report by Symantec Corp.<br /><br/>While the figures are a tad higher than the global spam rate, trends in Canada’s threat landscape have consistently followed rather closely the global rate, said Paul Wood, senior analyst for MessageLabs Intelligence with the Cupertino, California-based security vendor.<br /><br/>It is evident that government departments and organizations need to take proper measures to safeguard their network security to prevent cyber intrusions. One proven way to mitigate information security risks is through technical security training that will enhance the skills proficiency of the cyber security workforce. EC-Council has launched the Center of Advanced Security Training (CAST), to address the deficiency of technically proficient information security professionals.<br /><br/>Additionally, the all-new EC-Council CAST Summit series is also created to make advanced information security training opportunities available for information security professionals across the globe. It will be the excellent platform for any IT security professionals to acquire cutting edge skills by embarking on the CAST workshops, or further enhance their IT security knowledge by attending the one-day seminar.<br /><br/>The 3 days CAST Summit workshop covering current and important security topics such as penetration testing, application security, cryptography, network defense and mobile forensics training, and allows for participants to actually learn, and not just listen or be rushed through a short presentation like how it’s like in many other events or conference. All of these IT security trainings will only conducted by appointed EC-Council Master Trainers, some of whom are authors of the respective trainings.fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-7156846544730946722013-02-25T05:41:00.000-08:002013-02-25T05:41:00.437-08:00What Things To Do And See In Victoria, Canada<p>Victoria is the capital of British Columbia, Canada and is found right on the tip of Vancouver Island.

This illness is called traveller’s diarrhoea (TD) or often called as bali belly, delhi belly, Montezuma’s revenge, Tourist trot, and other names. This particular travel nuisance is characterized by increased frequency in bowel movements (stools), accompanied with abdominal cramps, abdominal bloating, toilet urgencies, nausea, vomiting, mild fever and blood in stools or dysentery. And in general, TD can be caused by bacterial, viral or parasitic infection.<br /><br/>The thing here is, the reason why backpackers from developed countries such as Australia, Northern Europe, Japan, Canada, New Zealand and the USA are the ones being assaulted by this illness when they go to developing countries, is because of the sudden change of the organisms in their gastrointestinal tract—organisms that are not present in the environment they are used to and present in the country they are visiting. </p>Another bad news is there is no available vaccine that can prevent traveller’s diarrhoea, though there are several treatments for diarrhoea present and being used today. However, this does not mean that traveller’s have to always worry that their trip will be ruined as there is a new clinically proven product available today that helps reduce the risk of TD caused by Enterotoxigenic (ETEC) E. coli (Escherichia coli) infection.<br /><br/>Travelan, is now deem best friend of every traveler going abroad, an Australian made mix of antibodies that fights against E. coli ETEC infection that is consumed in pill form before every meal. Its active ingredient Bovine Colostrums (cow’s breast milk) has anti-microbial properties that help against this particular infection along with other infectious agents. In scientific-speak, Travelan underwent stringent double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials in Europe and America, and the trials done have shown affirmative effects, as its specific ingredient provided up to 93% effectiveness in volunteers exposed to E. coli ETEC. The antibodies present in this supplement, work to restrain the ETEC’s attachment to the intestinal wall thereby preventing bacterial colonization of the bowel.<br /><br/>The reason why every traveler should consider investing in Travelan is because, the incident of acquiring such illness is high, approximately 30-80% of all the backpackers. And since this product is specifically designed to reduce the risk of TD caused by E. coli ETEC, it’s good to note that this particular bacterial infection is the most common cause of acquiring traveller’s diarrhoea (80-85% of all cases), so the purpose is excellently served.<br />fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-23754144836711690222013-02-21T03:23:00.000-08:002013-02-21T03:23:00.253-08:00For Cheap Car Rentals In CanadaCar rentals are being considered quite beneficial in the present times.

The idea of a vacation spent in the icy cold would seem an uninviting time to some, but they are overlooking the value of a trip to a region that has so much to offer but so little known about it. Its wildlife is as diverse as any region's with elk and salmon aplenty while activities such as kayaking can be done on the region's pristine waters. That is only the beginning of this area's gifts to those who brave its climate.</p><br/><p>Those who travel to Alaska and Canada can get an introduction to a culture very indigenous to the region.

Bicyclists can ride through untouched natural wilderness in a park that seemingly goes on forever.<br/>Or travelers can tackle the roughest rapids and finest rivers of the Alaska and Canadian area. Nowhere abroad could possibly offer the distinct gifts of this region because of the years that have gone in creating its unique and natural geography. Nowhere else in the world exists side by side glacier ice and regular wilderness. And the photo opportunities abound with native wildlife against a back drop of colossal mountains and glaciers.</p><br/><p>For very inexpensive costs, lodging can easily be found in this region as there are several options. </p>The cheapest route to go is to set up a tent at a campsite. Campsites are very prevalent across Alaska's landscape and so are RVs. Most of the time, people drive their RVs to specially equipped parks. For about a hundred dollars per night, there are also lodges, bed and breakfast inns and hotels.<br/><p>For a space all to yourself, many travelers would probably be interested to know that cabins can be rented to them for a weekend to longer. Although these cabins are usually located far into the forests, they have all of the comforts of a hotel plus the basics such as: cable television, wireless Internet, microwaves and plumbing.

It runs in a series including the Ice-wine Festival, the New Vintage Festival, and finally the Niagara Wine Festival.<br /><br />fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-89254954782932748702013-02-15T01:42:00.000-08:002013-02-15T01:42:00.567-08:00Affordable Travel Insurance in Canada<p>With affordable travel insurance Canada you can rest assured that your trips will be a lot safer now.

If you're not however knowledgeable regarding the travel documents needed for coming into into the US from Canada, then hopefully this article can provide you the mandatory data during this regard. Clearly, you are doing need a Canada Immigration Passport. There is however certain different details that you would like to know about the Canada Immigration Passport. Such details embrace when you wish it, and what are alternative extra requirements.. By having an intricate data of all this data, your trip to US will be a lot less complicated.<br /><br/>Your need for a Canada immigration passport is largely determined by your mode of travel. If you are traveling by air, then here is what you should take note of. </p>A visa isn't needed for Canadians who want to go to the United States by air. However, voters traveling by road are required to possess a Canada immigration passport. This demand was created effective starting last January twenty three, 2007. This was the time when the WHTI took effect. WHTI stands for Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. If you intend to enter the US by air however don't have a sound passport, you can still enter but you have to present a NEXUS card.<br /><br/>If you are traveling by sea or land, then a Canada immigration passport isn't required. This rule will modification but starting June 1, 2009. By then, whether or not you travel to the United States by water, land, or air, you'll be required to present a Canada immigration passport. For currently though, all you wish may be a photo ID that has been issued by the Government of Canada. Samples of this include driver's license, identity card, birth certificate and others. Together with the ID you also want to gift your birth certificate or your citizenship card. Although not needed, you'll be able to still gift your valid Canada immigration passport if you do not have the photo ID, citizenship card, or birth certificate. A sound Canada immigration passport will still gain you entry into the US.<br /><br/>Canadian voters from 15 years old and below will not be required to gift a Canada immigration passport when traveling to the US. Minors can solely be needed to present proof of their citizenship. Conjointly, Canadian voters that are 18 years previous and younger could present proof of citizenship solely when traveling in a very cluster with an approved supervision of an adult. On the other hand, Canadian business visitors, investors and treaty traders, professionals and intra-company transferees are required to possess TN visas instead of a Canada immigration passport. The TN visa will permit them to work within the United States. A citizen of a rustic below NAFTA (North Yank Free Trade Agreement) will have a professional occupation abroad that's underneath NAFTA, as long because the citizen applying for job within the foreign country meets the TN visa requirements. TN visas are valid for one year but are renewable indefinitely with yearly increments.<br /><br/>To summarize, the necessity for Canadians to travel to the US by air is only having a sound Canada immigration passport. But, if you think that your Canada immigration passport isn't enough and you're still unsure whether or not you may be granted entry, then go ahead and apply for a visa. Bear in mind there are different sorts of United States visas. Examples of the visa categories that are obligated to own a non-immigrant visa are Foreign Government Officials (A), NATO officers, and Staff and Officials of international organizations (G). Treaty traders (E-one), and Treaty investors (E-a pair of). Basically, any Canadian and non-Canadian citizen operating and visiting the United States is required to possess a non-immigrant visa as well. So, if you are a Canadian citizen trying to enter and work in the US, you will would like a TN visa, not simply a Canada Immigration passport.fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-69471296152936547472013-02-05T07:58:00.000-08:002013-02-05T07:58:01.122-08:00Bay Of Fundy In Canada<p>OK, so call us weird, but we had always wanted to see the Bay of Fundy in Canada. I know what some of our friends thought... Bore tides? How boring!<br /><br/>But really it was fun, never boring. The Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world. It's a long ocean bay that is 170 miles (270 km) long running between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada.<br /><br/>We started our adventure by flying to Halifax, Nova Scotia.... to see those bore tides. They're really called tidal bores. You may have heard about these... it's where the tide reverses the flow of a river making the water run in instead of out. The tide pushes the water into a wave... sometimes up to 10-12 feet high. Alas, the tidal bore we saw was only a couple of feet high, but it's pretty amazing to see a river completely stop then start flowing in the opposite direction! Most of the tidal bores are on the Nova Scotia side.<br /><br/>Other tidal effects you might see are vertical tidal effect, horizontal tidal effect, and tidal rapids or whirlpools.<br /><br/>The horizontal tidal effect is where, in the upper parts of the bay, you see the tide go out for what seems like miles. </p>Tidal rapids are just that.... rapids created by the flow of the tides. Sometimes these are called "reversing falls" because the tide appears to be a water fall that reverses direction depending on whether the tide is going in or out. You can ride jet boats to ride the rapids and reversing falls.... I guarantee that's not boring!<br /><br/>You can sit at one of the local restaurants to watch the vertical tidal phenomenon. Boats can be floating at dockside, then as you dine, you notice them floating lower and lower, until at low tide you may see them stranded in the mud. OK... it does take six hours, so you may not see the whole show at dinner, but you get what we mean.<br /><br/>That's the tidal cycle. 6 hours and 13 minutes to go from high tide to low tide. Then another six hours and 13 minutes to get back to full tide. Two full cycles a day.... but of course, the two cycles take more than 24 hours, so you have to check tidal charts so you'll know the times to see the high and low tides. Believe me, tide charts are easy to find anywhere around the Bay of Fundy.... those tides are important to the tourist trade, not to mention the fishermen of the area.<br /><br/>There are plenty of places to stay‚Ä¶ they are mostly cozy inns and bed-and-breakfasts. You'll find plenty of restaurants to choose from... some with a view of those tides. Why, you can even go wine tasting.... yes, wine tasting in Nova Scotia. We tried some great wines while waiting for the tides to change.<br /><br/>The Bay of Fundy is a UNESCO Biosphere reserve. It's great for active travelers too. You can go whale watching, sea kayaking, and hiking. Nothing boring there. Still, it was the tidal bores that called us to that part of Canada, and we still say it was exciting.<br /><br />fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-11363649745936352752013-02-03T04:14:00.000-08:002013-02-03T04:14:00.135-08:00Canada Medical Travel Insurance for Travelers<p>A lot of people go traveling for pleasure while others travel on business and still others go to another country for an extended period of time like the Snowbirds, or to work or to study. Canadians coming back to the country or those who have just arrived in the country may not be immediately eligible for the government medical plan so it would be wise to opt for Canada medical travel insurance in order to get coverage. No matter what the reason might be to be insured, it is very important to opt for medical travel insurance Canada and it would be very foolish to go to another country without taking any kind of insurance.<br /><br/>Insurance like the Canada medical travel insurance is an absolute must. If you think you can take a chance and believe that it will never be you who will meet with a crisis you are being very unrealistic. You never know when you might be faced with an emergency situation which requires you to get immediate medical attention or even air-lifting. </p>But if you have planned ahead for such emergencies by taking a medical travel insurance Canada then there is nothing to worry as the premium you will be paying will be just a fraction of the cost that you would normally be asked to cough up if you have no insurance at all.<br /><br/>So the key then is to plan in advance and buy the coverage that is right for you. Make sure you do your homework properly to know what your options are. The unforeseen costs that can crop up if you do not have Canada medical travel insurance are enough to ruin the rest of your holiday. The health care system in Canada is among the best that you can find anywhere in the world. You can rest assured that you will be in good hands. Regarding the medical travel insurance Canada there are quite a few packages that you can select from. The Canada medical travel insurance could include ambulances, emergency medical care, emergency returning home or travel with a bedside companion. Besides some of the medical travel insurance Canada might include emergency dental care, accident protection, subsistence benefits and emergency allowance.<br /><br/>Most of the medical travel insurance Canada companies provide you coverage as soon as you land in Canada. However, some of the Canada medical travel insurance companies might start coverage right from the starting point of departure in your home country. This could be a good solution for those who travel on long flights with several stopovers. If there is an emergency at home and you have to cut short your vacation, you can get a refund for the unused portion of the trip from your travel insurance Canada company provided you have not made a claim and if you have not made any claims at all, some of them even allow you to extend the plan for up to two years.fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-9909666535718239322013-02-01T02:16:00.000-08:002013-02-01T02:16:00.272-08:00Trusted Traveler Programs<p>Trusted Traveler Programs have been instituted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol. There are three different programs as of this writing; all are attempts to save you time.<br /><br/>They provide expedited travel for pre-approved, low risk travelers by allowing them to pass through special lanes and kiosks at certain airports and border crossings.<br /><br/>The Global Entry Program is a Trusted Traveler Program that is your express pass to get quickly through the United States' international arrival areas. Automated kiosks are designed to process pre-approved, low risk international travelers who qualify.<br /><br/>This U.S. Customs and Border Protection program is still designated as a pilot program. They hope it allows them to get trusted travelers through the airports faster and concentrate their resources on higher risk travelers. </p>The plus for you is that it allows you to bypass the regular passport processing lines.<br /><br/>If you apply, you will be fingerprinted, photographed, and questioned about your past, and there will be an FBI background check.

The application fee for this card is US.<br /><br/>SENTRI stands of Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection. (Do you think they stay up nights trying to think these names up?) SENTRI cards are also WHTI compliant. This is a United States-Mexico border crossing program. It serves the largest points of entries into the U.S. There are several fees involved because there is a FRID (radio frequency identification)card issued for vehicles.<br /><br/>There is one other program which mostly applies to truck drivers.

It may be that in the future Trusted Traveler Programs will be expanded to include reciprocal agreements with more countries, and we will be encouraged to enroll in programs like this.<br />fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-89262651922043023622013-01-31T06:26:00.000-08:002013-01-31T06:26:00.582-08:00Canada Northern Pike FishingNow Canada is the most preferable place to catch the largest Northern Pike fish.

On the continuum of intercultural experiences from tourist to traveller to long-term visitor / expatriate to becoming a permanent resident in a new country, the immigrant experience involves the most extreme and intense form of cultural interchange, and often confrontation. As an immigrant myself, I have experienced first-hand the effects of culture shock and it took me about 4 years to really settle emotionally in my new home country of Canada.</p><br/><p>Along these lines, here is an interview with Maria McGowan, Communications Manager for Pier 21, Canada's immigration museum, a national historic site in Halifax, Nova Scotia.</p><br/><p>1. </p>Pier 21 is Canada's immigration museum. Please tell us more about Pier 21, its location and facilities and what it is today.<br/><p>From the twenties to the seventies, Pier 21 was Canada's 'front door' to over a million immigrants, wartime evacuees, refugees, troops, war brides and their children. This enriched our social and cultural landscape and uplifted the very soul of a nation forever.</p><br/><p>Pier 21, a National Historic Site, has been transformed into a testament to Canada's profoundly emotional immigration experience. The sheer impact of the interactive displays, virtual projections and abundance of fascinating images is simply overwhelming.</p><br/><p>Part of Canada's past and what continues to shape our future began at Pier 21. </p>You will find photographs and the names of passengers and ships. Also, you will see actual passports, immigration papers and even ships' menus from this time.<br/><p>This year-round facility is much more than a visitor attraction. It is a unique and authentic glimpse into our history that you and your family will never forget.</p><br/><p>2. Please tell us more about the Exhibition Hall, the centerpiece of Pier 21.</p><br/><p>The Rudolph Peter Bratty Exhibition Hall is the centerpiece of Pier 21. Designed to represent the different stages of immigration, the exhibit invites visitors to trace the same path that immigrants followed as they journeyed to a new country. This highly interactive exhibit recreates the immigration experience with the use of innovative displays, evocative soundscapes and interactive technology.</p><br/><p>- Leaving Home The decision to leave home was often filled with great uncertainty. Through photographs, interpretive panels and personal artifacts, visitors see how immigration was influenced by world events.</p><br/><p>- The Voyage Until the 1960's, almost all immigrants arrived by ship. Find out what it was like to travel across the Atlantic to a new world. The Secunda Wall of Ships showcases the photographs of the top 100 ships to call on Pier 21.</p><br/><p>- Immigration Hall Upon arrival of Pier 21, passengers would disembark and proceed to the examination hall. This area has been recreated with wooden benches, wire cages and an immigration officer who may ask to see your papers.</p><br/><p>- Customs Trunks were inspected in the baggage room. A model of the original Pier 21 immigration complex shows the location of the baggage room, detention area, dormitories and train station.</p><br/><p>- The Annex Volunteers played a special role welcoming newcomers. The Red Cross volunteers ran a nursery for families. Representatives from different religious denominations were on hand to greet new arrivals. This area pays tribute to those who helped immigrants in so many ways.</p><br/><p>- Face of Immigration Listening stations tell the stories of the home children, British evacuee children, the military, volunteers, staff, refugees and immigrants from three different time periods in the history of Pier 21.</p><br/><p>- World War II Deck Between 1939 and 1947, the Department of National Defense took over Pier 21. 494,000 Canadian troops departed from Pier 21 to serve overseas. It is here where these troops bravely boarded ships for WWII.</p><br/><p>- Travel Across Canada For most people passing through Pier 21, the next stage was train travel. Less than 5% of arrivals at Pier 21 stayed in Nova Scotia. Visitors step aboard a recreated CN railcar and watch the Canadian countryside flash by the train windows. Inside the railcar, interviews of actual Pier 21 alumni sharing their memories are shown.</p><br/><p>- Andrea and Charles Bronfman - In-Transit Theatre "Oceans of Hope" A 24-minute virtual projection presentation portrays the emotional stories of those who passed through Pier 21.</p><br/><p>3. Please tell us about the Library and Resource Centre.</p><br/><p>Our Resource Centre houses a wealth of information valuable to individuals who arrived at Pier 21, their descendents, researchers, historians, school groups and other interested parties. The Resource Centre possesses unique images compiled from sources such as the National Archives, Sisters of Service, Canadian National Railway, Halifax Port Corporation and the Public Archives of Nova Scotia, many of which are on display in the Exhibit Hall. The collection also includes newspaper photographs, the "Day in the Life of Pier 21" series donated by Ken Elliot, the Allan S. Tanner Collection of images depicting Canadian troops returning to Pier 21 in 1945, and the Francis E. Murphy Collection which documents the building of the piers. It has a small but growing collection of books on topics such as Canadian immigration, the Canadian military in World War II, multiculturalism and other areas of study related to Pier 21.</p><br/><p>Four computer terminals are available where our website, stories database, ship database and other electronic resources may be accessed. Visitors may search electronically for the basic arrival information of anyone who immigrated through a Canadian port between 1925 and 1935. Immigration records of individuals who entered Canada through Quebec City, Montreal, Halifax and Saint John between 1925 and 1935 may be accessed on microfilm.</p><br/><p>The microfilm records are very popular because they contain the responses to the twenty-eight questions that a prospective immigrant had to answer before being allowed to enter Canada.</p><br/><p>The Resource Centre houses photographs of 90% of the ships that brought immigrants to Halifax between 1928 and 1971, and we are constantly adding to our collection. The Resource Centre has all of the videotaped immigrant interviews conducted by the CBC in the year before we opened, news coverage of the Pier 21 project, documentaries and several films on topics related to Canadian immigration. One of Pier 21's most important projects has been collecting the personal recollections of immigrants, war brides, service men and women, British guest children and home children. Many visitors enjoy this collection in the Centre and choose to write their own arrival stories after seeing it. The Pier 21 experience is greatly enhanced by a visit to the Resource Centre.<strong>Visit here</strong> http://immigrationsupport-org.blogspot.com</p>fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-40606610972379540492013-01-27T06:07:00.000-08:002013-01-27T06:07:00.415-08:00Canada- America most preferred cousin<p>The country of the maple leaf, Canada, is one of the most fascinating places to be for tourists from any part of the world. Be it the snow capped peaks or the exciting sporting scene of Toronto, or even the fantastic blend of international cuisines served here, there's something for everybody.</p><br/><p><strong>Banff &amp; Jasper National Parks:</strong> Easily the most scenic setting in the entire American continent (and possibly, the world), both these national parks are nothing short of a marvel on the face of earth. Every sight looks like a high-definition photograph in one of the calenders or postcards that are sent by friends or relatives from abroad. There are phenomenal mountains everywhere, and one will really have to exercise a lot of self control not to click pictures of everything! The white pine trees, and rapid rivers charting their own course in the hills, also make this place an ideal camp site, if only it were possible! And to top it all, there are also huge glaciers that seem to flow down the peaks and almost touch the road, as well as lakes in blue-green hues that almost resemble an artificial lake, but that's nature at its very best.</p><br/><p><strong>Toronto:</strong> The capital of Canada is the perfect amalgamation of the cultural turbulence of America and the freedom expressed by its adjoining country towards the north. </p>The residents of this fine city are both open-minded as well as poised about their own selves, in a country that is as multi-cultured as America, if not less. Not many decades ago, Toronto was known as an 'icebox' town, but owing to numerous immigration phases that included Europeans, Latin Americans, Caribbean and Asians shifting base to the city, the situation improved dramatically, and today, one in every two Torontonians was born outside of Canada. Despite the fact that the sports team here does not fare very well, fans are still ever enthusiastic about sports. Art too, has a very prolific stage here, with literature and music having their fare share of connoisseurs. In September, at the onset of winters, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) gives the city the typical Hollywood style treatment with street festivals, rock concerts, red carpets, et al. The dining scene is as multi-cultured as the people of Toronto, with Indian, Oriental and Italian cuisine being the order of the day. Similar is the case with shopping, as all the leading fashion brands have stores in Toronto.<br/><p><strong>Queen Charlotte Islands:</strong> Known more popularly by its First Nations name, Haida, Gwaii, the Queen Charlotte Islands have since forever been popularized for their flora and fauna. However, the real essence of the islands is the Haida culture, which is also having a fantastic imprint on nature, as the last remaining lot of the old-growth rainforests, which are home to some of the world's largest spruce and cedar trees, is being protected, alongside a multitude of species like bald eagles, bears, and many more.</p><br/><p>Matrix international calling cards are the perfect companion while travelling to Canada, since they proved fantastic call quality without the high international roaming charges, to make sure that one always talks as much as he/she wants without worrying about the bill.</p><br/><p> </p>fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-61328507149726688862013-01-26T06:30:00.000-08:002013-01-26T06:30:00.157-08:00Canada's Limo Services in Saskatchewan<p>Having no vehicle nowadays could be like living in the stone age. Definitely, you wouldn't want to be in that position. Ever since the invention of vehicles, businessmen have found a way to make it into the list of necessities rather than luxuries. At first glance its just a money making agenda coming from tycoons to be of that time. But as time passes by, people realize the beauty that cars brought to us. Cars nowadays is more than a want but is a necessity. With the way people are living their lives; having no car may mean trouble.<br /><br/>Cars are genius inventions of man. It is considered a triumph of man with the limitation of being mobile. Now because of this invention, people could actually find themselves traversing different regions in a relatively short period of time compared to the way people travel before. It is inevitable for our nature to stay and be still in one place. </p>People would need to find a living and in doing so, traveling from point A to point B is required. With ingenious engineering and creativity, people can now enjoy his passion. If this technology was present during the time of the Nomads, it would have also revolutionized life.<br /><br/>People get to buy cars for this reason. It is his natural tendency to be living in different areas or spending time in different areas that a mode of transportation is actually required of them. People is now required by work to be able to reach on time because of this advancement in technology. Because of this, people respond by adjusting through means of buying cars. There are a lot of good things about a car. It brings you comfort, it brings you everything that could be favorable to a driver as long as it is about traveling.<br /><br/>The sad part that car manufacturers don't tell their customers is the fact that they are the ones on the losing end in the long run. With high maintenance cost for a car, you will never get rid of things to pay. For instance, you could never load most cars with water or with magic potion. You have to make it work using high octane rating gas, if not, your engine will be doomed sooner than later. This problem is now getting way out of hand as cars that supposed to be part of an investment is now turning to a big time liability. I guess this isn't a good sign.<br /><br/>But thanks to the salvaging capacities of businessmen as they get creative every single time. There are now a great number of rent a car or car service companies that enables people to rent and not buy cars. With this, everything that is good in a car could be experienced but never the bad things. In Canada, there are a great number of good companies under this line of service. Saskatchewan is a place where limo services are top notch in service. For years, Saskatchewan limo companies have found their way to be the top Canadian limo service industry. An evidence of this is that, the wedding limo from Saskatchewan is comparable to none. Regina limo services is among the areas where Saskatchewan could be proud of. A typical Regina limousine service is geared not only for profit but on the contrary offers rock bottom price compared to other areas in Canada. They offer a variety of services. From wedding to corporate limo in Regina is sure to meet every client's demand.<br /><br/>Limo service is now within Canadians' reach. Because of this, not only do they have the opportunity to experience class and elegance but they could also bear in mind that their costs for cars will also be lessened.<br /><br />fahimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03987177832112633330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105521687401794912.post-42583899218922643162013-01-24T05:09:00.000-08:002013-01-24T05:09:00.404-08:00Driving from Canada to Mexico: What to Bring!<p>All too often, people cave in and buy expensive airline tickets in order to visit Mexico from Canada.
